How to Buy Replacement AirPods Pro Ear Tips

by

AirPods Pro sport an all-new in-ear design with three sizes of soft, flexible silicone tips included in the box, including small, medium, and large. Apple does not sell the ear tips directly, but if you happen to lose them, replacements are available for $3.95 per pair through the company's support channels.

  2. Select AirPods.
  3. Select Lost or Missing AirPods.
  4. Select Replace your AirPods Pro ear tips.

If you choose the Order Replacements option, you will be prompted to enter your Apple ID email address and password and complete two-factor authentication if necessary. Then you will be presented with a list of your Apple products. If your AirPods Pro are not shown, enter their serial number at the bottom of the page and select Continue.

This is really convoluted for Apple, you would think they would want to make this simpler and straightforward

I just got off a 22 minute call with Apple Support (in Australia, if it matters - that's where they route calls in English, from Japan) ... I started the call from the Apple Support app ... the guy wanted to know my serial number (which they already have because I got AppleCare+ - also using this method - a week ago) and then wanted to know what device the AirPods Pro were paired to (at the moment?! Lol) ... 22 minutes later and he said he'd have to call me back because he couldn't figure out how to place the order. :rolleyes:

I’ll bet you could get 3rd party earbud tips to work. Google “silicone earbud tips” for a host of options. Might not be perfect but you’ll probably find something that works. Wait a couple of weeks and you might even find an aftermarket product made specifically for APPs.
But those cheap knock-offs won't be made of the same finest silicon material imported from the caves of Kuala Lumpur and hand molded by fine artisans in Milan as the Apple originals.

Seriously though, that's a good idea.
